Yesterday Olivier and I had a brief chat about the possibility to turnoff the verbose mode and set -log when running the eclipse build. We quickly tested that the .log files were being created, however we were not using the adapter, but directly the main class, which seems to have a slightly different behavior. Long story short, when I set verbose to false and set -log in the compilerarg I don't get any log file which is annoying.
If -log doesn't specify a log file name, we should create a default one in the destination directory.
I agree that this would be more clear than the javacVerbose=true magic.
In fact, this is more a feature request. Right now, -log requires a file name to be specified. I will investigate how we can add the creation of a default log file when no name is specified.
Change title to reflect the right issue. What we want to speed up the build process is a way to get the log without all the verbose information. Right now the verbose mode is used to retrieve the log. The nested compilerarg cannot be used to be compatible with javac.
I suggest commenting out the line that sets up the -verbose mode of the batch compiler inside the ant adapter. This would minimize the changes. Keeping verbose on in the ant task would generate a log as it is done now without getting all the tracing in System.out. The batch compiler could still be used as it is today. If a user really wants the verbose mode, this could always be done using a compilerarg.
Fixed by not activating the verbose option of the batch compiler when the verbose mode of the ant task is enabled. This should reduce the noise in the System.out. If users want the previous behavior back, they can always add a nested compiler argument element that contains "-verbose".
